The most remarkable novel yet from the internationally acclaimed author of Death of a River Guide and The Sound of One Hand Clapping, this is a marvelous historical epic of 19th century Australia, a world of convicts and colonists, thieves and catamites, whose bloody history is recorded in a very unusual taxonomy of fish.

Book Details

First Sentence

"MY WONDER UPON discovering the Book of Fish remains with me yet, luminous as the phosphorescent marbling that seized my eyes that strange morning, glittering as those eerie swirls that coloured my mind and enchanted my soul-which there and then began the process of unravelling my heart and, worse still, my life into the poor, scraggy skein that is this story you are about to read."
